What do you think of the custom in which people propose marriage by giving the person's family money or animals such as goats, cows or sheep etc?

I don't really approve of it. Many cultures in South Africa do that. The common name is Labola.
It seems fine in theory but the cost can virtually bankrupt the prospective groom.
Also one thing that can happen as a result of that is that the man may regard his wife as his property because he had to spend a lot of money to "buy" her.
I think it would be better for him to spend that money on a home or furniture.
I think it's a tradition that should be left in the past.

It's a very interesting culture.
Little traditions that hurt no one really.

It is an olden practice. Stands their test of time and of honour.

Just an old tradition, very meaningless

Well if it works for them why change it

I think it's a sign for the parents that you can provide

I don't know , to some it's tradition

That its ancient

Super oldschool
